How to convert cups to grams

Converting cups to grams is essential for precise baking, especially when following recipes from different countries or scaling recipes up or down. The conversion depends entirely on what ingredient you’re measuring.

The formula is: Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup. Each ingredient has a different weight per cup based on its density. Our converter uses accurate measurements for 414 common ingredients.

Why convert to grams?

Weight measurements (grams) are more accurate than volume measurements (cups) for several reasons:

Consistency: A gram is always a gram, but a cup of flour can vary by 30% depending on how it’s measured
Precision: Grams allow for exact measurements, crucial for baking where ratios matter
Scalability: It’s easier to scale recipes up or down with weight measurements
International recipes: Most professional and international recipes use weight measurements

Tips for converting cup measurements

US vs metric cups

A US cup is 236.6 ml. UK, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand recipes that use cups mean a 250 ml metric cup, about 6% larger; only old British recipes use the 284 ml imperial cup. This converter starts on US cups; switch the cup size above for the others.

Tablespoons in a cup

There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. This is useful for measuring partial cups: 1/4 cup = 4 tbsp, 1/2 cup = 8 tbsp.

Invest in a scale

A digital kitchen scale costs less than $20 and will improve your baking dramatically. Look for one that measures in 1g increments.

Tare function

Use your scale’s tare (zero) function to weigh ingredients directly into your mixing bowl - no extra dishes to wash!

Questions

How do I convert cups to grams?

To convert cups to grams, multiply the number of cups by the ingredient's weight per cup. For example, 2 cups of sugar would be 2 x 200g = 400g. You need to know the specific ingredient because each has a different weight per cup.

Why should I convert cups to grams?

Converting cups to grams gives you more accurate measurements, especially for baking where precision matters. It also helps when following recipes from other countries that use metric measurements, and allows you to scale recipes more easily.

How many cups is 100 grams?

It depends on the ingredient: 100 g of all-purpose flour is ¾ cup + 1 tbsp, 100 g of granulated sugar is ½ cup and 100 g of butter is 7 tbsp. The converter above does any ingredient.

Are US cups and UK cups the same?

No. A US cup is 236.6 ml. Modern UK recipes that use cups mean the 250 ml metric cup (as do Australia, New Zealand and Canada); the 284 ml imperial cup appears only in older British recipes. The converter can use any of them.

How do I measure sticky ingredients like honey or peanut butter?

For sticky ingredients, spray your measuring cup with cooking oil first, or use weight measurements instead. A cup of honey weighs 340g and a cup of peanut butter weighs 258g.
